Q&A for [ROM][AOSP] Google Edition S4/ Pure Nexus Edition[SAFESTRAP] Oct 4th.14
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Thanks Joe! And a question.
First off, I want to thank Joe for all his hard work! Ever since I upgraded from the S3 to the S4 I have been missing CM for their lack of bloatware more than anything else. Found this just over a week ago, installed it and haven't looked back at TouchWiz ever since!!! Everything works great but I have a small issue I am hoping someone can help me with, I have tried using GravityBox and a separate Xposed module to have a different picture on the lock screen but all I ever get is a black background. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanks again Joe for all your hard work and I am sad to hear you will be moving on. Was hoping to see some of that Lollipop goodness but I understand that hobbies can only take so much of your time. Good luck with your S5 work!

Which rom are you using right now? I heard there's an issue with GB while on the gpe version. You might have to do a nandroid backup and try out pure nexus as others users reported GB working with no issue for them. And sometimes after applied a tweak, you must restart your phone to take affect.

How to Pure Nexus on SGH-1337M
Hello,
I have the SGH-I337M with bootloader I337MUMUAMDJ and with TWRP recovery, I'd like to install this Pure Nexus but I don't know what to chose when it comes to the modules.
Has anyone installed this or can anyone provide me some advice?
Thanks,
OMG I am LOVING the Pure Nexus rom on my S4!!!!! I just want to say that this was my first Android experience and was going to be my last until I stumbled upon xdadevelopers and this ROM a few days ago. I originally switched from an iPhone (which was hard enough) but when I got my brand new S4 I couldn't believe how slow and laggy it was, thanks to ATT apps and touchwiz, my phone with all these great specs could barely keep up with MMS messages and was lagging just scrolling thru my contact list!!??! :/
So anyways, I was ready to move back to the Apple side of the world before I decided to give this ROM a try and after installing the Pure Nexus rom all i can say is... WOW!!! I think i'm finally falling in love with this device 1.5 years later. This is exactly how the S4 should be stock from all carriers!! Pure, clean, fast and functional!! very impressed! Awesome work Joe!!

I believe I was in the wrong forums, I found GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez and I believe it is meant for SGH-I337M so I'll give it a try.
Also, I did have one question, is there any work around yet for being able to connect this to a PC via USB and being able to transfer files? Again, I'm on ATT NC1 using the Pure Nexus Rom.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

No. Look into airdroid or the app in the OP. There will be no work around unless our bootloader gets unlocked, from what I understand it's a kernel problem and there's no real way to fix it without flashing a kernel

Airdroid is really good, thanks Rhymey!
I couldn't get Multi Mount SD-card lite to work though, even after checking off MTP fix... like it shows up in my file explorer as a drive but everytime I click it, it says "please insert disk"... not sure why?

Adding tiles to drop down menu?
Greetings all,
Is there a way to add more tiles to the menu? Where the Brightness, Settings, Wifi, Network, Battery Life, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth and Location settings are? I'd like to have to customize this a bit if possible.
Thanks!

You need to install Xposed Installer and GravityBox KK Modules.
Cannot see internal storage
Hello,
After flashing this ROM, I can't see all of my internal storage. Is there an easy fix for this?
Wifi difficulties on Google Play Edition ROMs for I337UCUFNI1
Hello, I followed the instructions for the SafeStrap installation of various Google Play Edition ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S4, NI1 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758259#post53758259
I successfully booted into working installations for all of them (Pure Nexus Edition, Google Edition for SafeStrap v1.1, & S4 Google Edition for SafeStrap. The phone could receive 4G LTE, but could not turn on Wifi. It became stuck on "Turning Wifi on..." & never progressed elsewhere. I performed all manner & combinations of hot reboots & full reboots, with no luck.
I also tried flashing different ATT modules.zip from NB1 & NC1, none of which changed anything.
In http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239/post55466895#post55466895
I also saw that in addition to hot/soft reboots, trying go enter/exit airplane mode may also get wifi back up again. This too failed. I'm utterly confused how hot reboots & this airplane mode fix worked for so many others.
Anyone else had luck with fixing wifi?
Requesting advice/help. I just flashed this rom and have experienced two data drops already within 30 minutes of me using the rom. What should I do to fix this?
also...just tried to install chrome from the play store. When I open chrome my phone immediately vibrates 3 times very quickly, and says "unfortunately chrome has stopped". Ive tried clearing cache/data and uninstalling, neither worked. Did I forget to do something when I flashed this rom? other weird stuff has been happening like I rebooted my phone one time and the wifi wouldn't even turn on and I had to reboot again to get it working.
Every time you cold boot, you need to do a hot reboot to get wifi working.

Hi, I have recently installed Lollipop via Kies, i always used to have my wifi timer setup to auto come on at certain times, in Lollipop i cannoy find the option now, unless its somewhere i havn't spotted yet?
Does anyone know if its still there anywhere?
There are apps but i tried these a long time ago and they didn't seem to bring the wifi on via just a timer alone and it was just automatic when it detected the signal, or by location which i didn't want as i felt this would consume more battery than needed when all i needed was it to come on via a timer only (not keep checking all the time for a signal)
Regards
James

It depends mostly on the rom and not the OS version.
Stock, CM and GPE all come with different sets of features.
CM12 is more customizable. Chances are that CM12 will have this feature. I don't use it so I can't tell for sure.
ok, i started to get a bit pis**d off by this bug...
i've tried several roms (cloudy3.3, somboons stock, somboons thai food ones) and i still can't trace what is causing this...
here is the situation:
device is in screen off/sleep mode, wi-fi is turned off in sleep (no data is turned on - and that is ok)
when i turn the screen on - wifi turns on after few seconds - that is ok
after a minute or so - wifi turns off by itself, and reconnects again - and it stays on until i turn the screen off...
at first - it didn't bother me much, but it just started to get annoying and it pis**s me off because i can't find the culprit of that bug...
i've tried several things:
- reflashing the roms (clean flash)
- removing xposed mods one by one (i use 3 of them - g3tweaksbox, flat style indicators and xtoast)
- stock and dorimanx kernel
- changing wifi router channel (i'm running dual band router - 5ghz/2.4ghz, it makes no difference on which band i'm connected)
did anyone else notice this bug?
i googled like a MF and the closest thing i've found was connected to nexus devices on lollipop (similar reconnection issues, but worse)
thanks in advance...
I can confirm - having the same situation after switching to Lollipop. At first I thought that switching to 5G wifi solved it, but still the issue remains. Have you tried different kernels?

i've tried stock kernels that came with the roms i flashed and dorimanx on all...
i didn't try xceed (or whatsitcalled) kernel...
i somehow doubt kernel is the culprit of this...
i'm pointing my finger to either xposed framework or some router setting...
only thing i didn't try so far is using the pure stock rom for a few hours without installing xposed or any additional apps i use regulary...
Hello ,
I am on DeoXPer Pure MM 3.0 (Touchwiz) Rom what is an really great one.
But now after some weeks (installing this and that) I noticed whenever i disable wifi the wifi-icon starts to blink. It is alternating within ca. 1.5 seconds. Its not only a visual effect - in the wifi section the slidebutton ist alternating too. When I touch the button i can reactivate wifi and the near wlan is connected. The problem is that i would like to deaktivate wifi sometimes to safe battery. This strange behavior is very batterydraining. I wiped memory reinstalled apps (with data via titanium) but at some point the missbehavior reoccours. Do you have any hints for me to identify the misbehaving app or config?
Thanks in advance

I thought I was the only one with the issue lol
Google is up to something me thinks as when I turned the gps on today the wirless scanning re activated.
I have used alot of roms but I always go back to stock as I have had less bugs that way. If I was to flash another rom I would choose Omega rom or just stick with stock and a custom kernel. Cheers.
No matter what rom I'm on....stock or modified...whether I'm fully wiped or not..."OK GOOGLE" detection stops listening and unchecks itself, (Always on and Personal results turn off).
Restarted, wiped cache, downgraded Google app, etc, etc. This is a major flaw and the ONLY reason I'm unhappy with this phone...isn't anyone else having these issues? H910 here, rooted with DirtySanta. VERY frustrated.
THIS is the closest thing I've seen relating to the bug I'm experiencing....but Accessibility fixes NOTHING. https://www.xda-developers.com/psa-disabling-accessibility-services-breaks-ok-google-feedback/
I don't have that issue. I am using NotSoStock rom on vs995. The only thing I changed was the build prop so that I can use the pixel launcher and google assist.
yes, I see it as well. Out of the blue the Hot Word Detection will be turned off. I am forced to turn it back on. My voice model is still in tact though, have no idea as to why this setting keeps turning itself off either.
curious, are you using TBO Black Out gapps?
I'm on stock with no root and OK Google keeps forgetting my voice. It was OK at first, then I think it broke with an update. I have it sorta stable for now.

The app doesnt seem to be forgetting my voice. The setting just gets turned off for what ever reason. When I toggle it back ON its not asking to train, so the voice remains there.
edit...I have a android wear device (smart watch) with the "OK Google" enabled. maybe it gets turned off on my v20 in favor of the wear device.
here is when it crashes
Code:
01-18 05:02:43.939 3064 23321 W AlwaysOnHotwordDetector: startRecognition() failed with error code -19
full log, from enabling to the auto disable that occurs if anyone is interested

I also have an android wear watch. You may be right, I haven't been wearing my watch the last fortnight, about the time the V20 has been behaving...

I had it on that rom, too. Worked, no updates at all, no system apps restored from Titanium...then stopped. Tried all of the "solutions" I found online, none worked. Kept toggling itself back off and freezing. Same as on stock. I'm on bone stock now with attkernel that I flashed and it's flying. So far, so good. But...give it a few more days. LOL.

Nope, I definitely don't have a watch or anything. The above post talks about a bug with Accessiblilties but none of what he said fixed my issue.

I don't have a watch. Only a bluetooth headset, car audio and bluetooth speaker. Other than that...no paired anything, in any way. It just decided to toggle "Always On" off and stay off...even after retraining, it freezes and untoggles, even on a restart or battery pull.

I thought so too...but I blocked updates...and am on root so I froze all apps that I usually install. Broke again. I'm on stock w/ root and att kernel at the moment and all SEEMS good...been a day. But, I'll update when it breaks again.

Nope. No gapps. Was on Not So Stock...but for weeks have been going back and forth to stock w/ root and back, trying to troubleshoot. I'm now on bone stock, w/ Nova launcher and att kernel. I'm flying on it...same as other roms...and Google Now works just fine, but it's been a DAY. I'll update when/if it stops working.
Yup I had thought I may have fixed it once - but turns out it still switches off on me too. I'm on H910 with NSS ROM. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the kernel if yours is working currently on complete stock. But at least it does work on my home screen so I dont really mind much.
But yeah when going into the settings and switching Always On to ON state, and then when you go back in - the app freezes up for awhile (like about 30secs to a minute). Then it comes back up, but the Always On is toggled OFF again.
Edit: or maybe it is due to being a deODEX'ed ROM? I know occasionally issues happen for different apps when its deODEXed.

FANTASTIC! I was trying to tell people I wasn't imagining it! LOL. Here's the kernel I'm using, which flies for me, zero lag, and is bone stock AT&T. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224411218...Thank Team DevDigitel for providing this awesome kernel thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/device-kernel-aka-boot-img-s-carrier-t3533426

I then, only use Titanium Backup Pro to restore apps only, no data...and no system apps.
Try it and lemme know how you fare. I'm glad I'm cruising beautifully for now...with the exception of Viper4Android stopping working like I've experienced on all roms.
Best of luck!!!!:good:
